“During recent storms, satellites recorded ocean waves averaging nearly 20 metres high – the largest ever measured from space. Moreover, satellite data now reveal that ocean swells act as storm ‘messengers’ - even though a storm may never make landfall, its swell can travel vast distances and bring destructive energy to distant coastlines...
This record merges data from satellites such as #SARAL, #Jason3, #Copernicus #Sentinel 3A and 3B, Copernicus #Sentinel6 Michael Freilich, #CryoSat and #CFOSAT…”

"
Grönland: subglaziale Überflutung bricht durch die Oberfläche der Eisschicht
"
"Anhand von Daten mehrerer Erdbeobachtungssatelliten .. haben Forschungsteams entdeckt, dass eine enorme Flut unter dem grönländischen Eisschild mit solcher Wucht nach oben gedrückt hat, dass sie den Eisschild aufgebrochen hat .."

Im langjährigen Mittel sind etwa 7 % der globalen Ozeanfläche von #Meereis bedeckt. Satelliten wie #CryoSat-2 (ESA) erfassen aus über 700 km Höhe kontinuierlich hochaufgelöste Höhenprofile der Meereisoberfläche. Diese #Satellitendaten ermöglichen die Analyse von Veränderungen und Trends und sind grundlegend für das Verständnis klimarelevanter Prozesse in den #Polarregionen. Radaraltimeter messen präzise den Abstand zwischen Satellit und Eisoberfläche. #Klimaforschung

Greenland Ice Sheet Shrinking at Incredible Rate
"Greenland ice sheet seen melting in real-time from Earth orbit
Agreement from two satellites CryoSat-2 and ICESat-2m. Between 2010 and 2023, Greenland lost 563 cubic miles (2,347 cubic kilometers) of ice, which is enough to fill Lake Victoria, Africa's largest lake."

Zum Jahreswechsel gibt es eine runde Sache. Und zwar die Folge 70. Diesmal mit der Geschichte des Forschungssatelliten #CryoSat, dessen Mission leider schon nach 308 Sekunden endete. https://digitaleanomalien.de/70-cryosat-und-die-dritte-stufe/ #podcast #space #weltraum
#ClimateCrisis: Antarctic ice shelf demise https://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/Copernicus/Sentinel-1/Antarctic_ice_shelf_demise
"New research, based largely on information from the @CopernicusEU #Sentinel-1 and #ESA’s #CryoSat #satellite missions, has revealed alarming findings about the state of #Antarctica's ice shelves: 40% of these floating shelves have significantly reduced in volume over the past quarter-century."

#ESA:
"#CryoSat reveals #ice loss from #glaciers" ".. shrunk by a total of 2% in just 10 years."
".. scientists have used a particular technique of processing CryoSat data to reveal that glaciers lost a whopping 2720 Gigatonnes of ice between 2010 and 2020."
"Their research also demonstrates that higher air temperatures are responsible for 89% of this ice loss."
